DAX fallbacks

Hi,

could you explain what DAX fallbacks mean in detail and how to avoid them? Or is it ok to have fallbacks?

Unfortunately googling does not help...

MANpage says: fallbacks == Number of commands completed by the software, which DAX could not complete

OK, but why and what does it mean for the DB?

Running RAC on M7 with InMemory:

1st node=DAX commands 35.608.411 with 18 fallbacks

2nd node=DAX commands 63.563.607 with 2.656.188 fallbacks

Is it just a bad day for the second node? Any ideas how I could dig deeper at OS or DB level?

Thanks in advance and regards

- Martin

What is the difference between o_direct and DAX with ext4 filesystem?

I'm trying to understand the difference between o_direct flag of open system call and dax (direct access) with ext4 filesystem. According to my understanding both bypass page cache. But I'm still unclear about the crucial difference between these 2 techniques. If there is a huge difference...

GIT-SH-I18N(1)                                                      Git Manual                                                      GIT-SH-I18N(1)

NAME

       git-sh-i18n - Git's i18n setup code for shell scripts

SYNOPSIS

       . "$(git --exec-path)/git-sh-i18n"

DESCRIPTION

       This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever. This documentation is meant for people who are studying the Porcelain-ish
       scripts and/or are writing new ones.

       The 'git sh-i18n scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using .) by Git's porcelain programs implemented in shell script. It provides
       wrappers for the GNU gettext and eval_gettext functions accessible through the gettext.sh script, and provides pass-through fallbacks on
       systems without GNU gettext.

FUNCTIONS

       gettext
           Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around printf(1). Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in
           a later version.

       eval_gettext
           Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around printf(1) with variables expanded by the git-sh-
           i18n--envsubst(1) helper. Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in a later version.
